Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced on Tuesday that she will not seek reelection in 2024 after much speculation about her future plans and a handful of Democrats entered the race for California’s seat.
“I am announcing today I will not run for reelection in 2024 but intend to accomplish as much for California as I can through the end of next year when my term ends,” Feinstein said in a statement. “Even with a divided Congress, we can still pass bills that will improve lives.”
“Each of us was sent here to solve problems. That’s what I’ve done for the last 30 years, and that’s what I plan to do for the next two years,” the statement continued. “My thanks to the people of California for allowing me to serve them.”
